God used Campus Crusade in the late Spring of 1976 (through a Josh McDowell meeting) to lead me to believe in and follow Jesus Christ. During that summer, I became involved with a small church of dear people who were highly legalistic. Upon returning to the university I met with Campus Crusade and through them got involved with the movement. Though the effort was there, I wasn’t really growing. A fellow Crusader introduced me to Ron Dunn through a cassette. Specifically, Pastor Dunn’s sermon on Jeremiah 29:11-13 “Seeking the Lord” revolutionized my spiritual life from one of working hard and being legalistic to seeking the Lord through a personal relationship of seeking Him first while trusting and obeying Him. I have also greatly benefitted from Ron’s sermon series “Strange Ministers” coming to understand how God purposefully and graciously uses such things as discouragement, temptation, and even failure in our lives. J.I.Packer in “Knowing God”(in the chapter entitled “Those Inward Trials”) also speaks of those things. God has used Ron Dunn’s sermons many times over the years. My only regret is that I never saw him in person to thank him…
